Ripon College announces new financial aid offering for Wisconsin students

Ripon College introduced its latest financial aid opportunity, The Ripon Commitment, which covers or greatly reduces tuition and fees for incoming Wisconsin resident students.

Designed with two layers — including one that is income-driven — The Ripon Commitment helps ensure students throughout Wisconsin have access to the higher education experience provided by Ripon College.

“The Ripon Commitment opens doors for students in Wisconsin who may have thought higher education at a private school was out of reach,” Ripon College President Victoria N. Folse said. “As a former first-generation college student myself, I am personally thrilled to announce this offering and to support young people as they work to achieve their full potential and contribute to their communities personally and professionally.”

...The Ripon Commitment, first available for the fall 2025 semester, aims to empower choice for prospective Wisconsin students by removing financial barriers; to grow the Ripon College community with a fully residential campus; and to continue to increase the diversity and inclusiveness of the Ripon College student population....
